Old and New. Nice idea, nice concept, nice website: Steven Cook's alternity.Alternity began about 5 years ago when I started collecting old photographs and carte de visites of people. I began to wonder why people always looked as if they belonged to their own particular era and whether they'd look out of place in the 21st century wearing contemporary fashions. As an experiment I started to scan the photos and swap bits around digitally. Things got especially interesting when I began scanning from my own negatives and dropping those into the melange. With Alternity I have created my own version of the past, resurrecting these people from their long forgotten existence, giving them their fifteen minutes of fame - posthumously.
